[POEM] The Good Hand - Rhian Edwards

I’ve just discovered Welsh poet Rhian Edwards and can’t wait to read more of her work.

This poem from her collection, Clueless Dogs, really stood out to me. She takes the domestic setting of a home, and turns it into something nightmarish.

Would love to see others’ interpretations.

Thoughts on Kindles/eReaders

Debating whether or not to get a Kindle. I much prefer physical copies, but I’m finding that when I do the night feeds with my little one, I’m picking up my phone and doom scrolling.

What are people’s opinions on digital? Also, for those of you who have a kindle, are there many Weird Girl Books available on Kindle Unlimited UK? Any examples?

Rest and Be Thankful - Emma Glass

Downloaded this yesterday through BorrowBox on a whim as I was going on a solo drive and needed something to listen to. Not sure how many pages, but to listen to it clocks in at just under 3hours. Finished in one sitting (drive!).

Rest and Be Thankful is about >!a burned-out pediatric nurse working nights while her body and mind start to unravel!<. Absolutely blown away. The writing captures exhaustion, trauma, and the emotional toll of caregiving so viscerally.

Would definitely recommend. Has anybody else read/listened to this or any other Emma Glass? What did you think?

I’m currently on maternity leave and I’m looking to add some books to my tbr.

Looking for recs of books with themes of motherhood, maternity and/or pregnancy.

I like them weird and wonderful. Planning on reading Nightbitch by Rachel Yodel soon.

Any other suggestions please.

Pleased with my library finds. I think I’m solely responsible for the amount of times these Melissa Broder books have been checked out.

Picked up Lost Lambs because of the cover (literally judging a book by its cover). No idea if it’s weird-girl-lit or not.
Has anyone read it? No spoilers but what did people think of it?
